Are there delays ?
Bucketloads. And not your normal run-of-the mill defects either. Some really bizarre ones starting to appear. You could probably start a new thread on bizarre defects you have seen lately, but that would not be a good idea (for anonymity and liability reasons).
Problem is that the reporting system for delays (and the delay code system) will not adequately reflect the true reason behind engineering delays, and many DMM's do not want to draw attention to the real issues either. And when the managers get together to discuss delays they will not admit fact that this latest mis-management in manpower and resources is causing serious issues (And also partly because they are so far removed from ops that they cannot see what is going on).
In short they have really stuffed this operation.
